Listener comments!
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Department holiday potluck! I will be with you as soon as I can.
	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: Oh the snow!
	♥ 12:01pm Triple G: Hey EFD and Holiday Funksters! Let's party
	♥ 12:01pm prof.fuzz: merry merry!
	♥ 12:01pm G: 50 years!
	♥ 12:01pm mndave: ↳ Song: "step into christmas" by "elton john" Hi EFD and everyone! This is my favorite seasonal tune and I highly recommend the video because Elton John is an absolute goof in it.
	♥ 12:02pm B R M: We want the funk... gotta have that funk (awww)...
	♥ 12:02pm efd: ↳ G @12:01 oy!
	♥ 12:02pm love2laf: Merry 3 hours ahead with efd at the helm of the Holiday! Cheers everyone :)
	♥ 12:03pm B R M: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 update on what dish you brought to pass, please (and Happy Holidays Handy Haversack!)
	12:03pm ?: ok but really...not to be a Grinch but it seems WFMU is leaning hugely hard into Christmas songs this year way more than it ever has. 5 days ahead makes sense but its been all month. Am I the only one who feels like it's way more?
	♥ 12:03pm tim: Hey efd! efd annual shows are always top notch! Hi everyone! prof- I got the fake snow machine used for ski slopes blasting inside the fuZZZmobile!
	♥ 12:03pm SeanG: now I'm in the Christmas spirit!
	♥ 12:03pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:03pm bradford: Hi efd & everyone!
	♥ 12:04pm efd: ↳ @12:03 you are free to listen to one of the thousands of archived shows if you're not into it, anonymous commenter!
	12:04pm UFOspecialist: Love this! Hope there's some Donnie Iris xmas music out there!
	♥ 12:04pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @12:03 Fun fact: If you turn the FuZZZmobile upside down and shake it, the dust bunnies make it look like a snow globe!
	♥ 12:05pm tim: ↳ @12:03 Hmmm! I can't recall hearing any xmas music until today. But my short term memory is extremely unreliable. What show's were you listening too.
	♥ 12:05pm efd: ↳ @12:03 also, "WFMU" as a programming entity doesn't exist. I do this every year on my show.
	♥ 12:05pm northguineahills: it's an efd wfmumas miracle!
	♥ 12:05pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @12:05 I was thinking the same thing. I've heard an occasional tune, but certainly not overkill.
	12:05pm ?: Just asking if I'm imagining things/just had different timing in previous years. This year it seems almost every show has done so all month
	♥ 12:05pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 i believe we should follow up on the experiment. Prof Fuzz, you down?
	♥ 12:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi efd! Hello everybody!
	♥ 12:06pm tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 Hey nyc! Brillian idea! That's so much easier then trying to squeeze a snow machine in a van!
	♥ 12:06pm HyperDose: It's an efd miracle!
	12:06pm clarke: howdy from rural hill country mississippi ya'll!!
	12:06pm Vanessa - Georgia: Hi Evan Happy Holidaze!
	♥ 12:06pm HyperDose: ↳ northguineahills @12:05 Get out of my brain! haha
	♥ 12:06pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:03 good to know. i thought it was my dandruff acting up again!
	♥ 12:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Funktacular greetings!
	♥ 12:06pm SeanG: hey clarke!
	♥ 12:06pm northguineahills: ↳ HyperDose @12:06 (jinxed ya! 🤪)
	♥ 12:07pm Strandlund: Happy Funky Holiday, EFD and everyone tuning in!!
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ SeanG @12:06 how do?
	♥ 12:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 and this, kids, is why you always wear your seatbelt inside the FuZZZmobile!
	♥ 12:08pm Glistener MW: Merry Funkmas, all! I look forward to this holiday funktacular every year
	12:08pm ?: @Tim Kens multiple times including during Hanukkah (which for Ken isn't entirely surprising until its multiple shows in a row), I think Fool's Paradise and Glen Jones, and at least 2 other shows but I don't remember which they were as they were either fills or shows that weren't on the schedule last year.
	♥ 12:08pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 snertle!
	12:08pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZ your dandruff is actin' up
	♥ 12:08pm Chris Hiatt: Afternoon, y'all. I'm down for this!
	♥ 12:08pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:05 bucked in and ready to shake, jingle, and snow!
	12:09pm ?: tbh as long as I'm not Whamageddoned I'm happy, just as a nonprofit fundraiser it strikes me as random and made me wonder if there was a funder who requested more Christmas or something
	♥ 12:09pm SeanG: @clarke doing good my man!
	♥ 12:09pm medson: Hola efd and all.
	♥ 12:09pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 Also: Don't drink and park. Accidents cause people.
	♥ 12:09pm Hughie Considine: It's one thing to play the familiar Xmas canon, quite another to find the outliers as only FMU djs can do. I mean, it's not like Blake Xolton & the Martians are getting a lot of repeat play in shopping malls.
	♥ 12:09pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:08 oh. damn. i thought it was a snow globe.
	12:10pm ?: (again not complaining, especially not 5 days ahead when I need some hype to get me finishing presents, so big thanks EFD. Just musing)
	♥ 12:10pm G: ↳ @12:09 How the Grinch Stole the Comment Board! new holiday special!
	♥ 12:10pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:09 sage advice to my younger self!
	12:10pm clarke: oh FuZZZZZZ
	♥ 12:10pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "sleigh ride" by "memphis sounds orchestra" Is it possible to hear wood paneling? 'Cause I think I hear the wood panellng in this. I mean that in the best way possible.
	♥ 12:10pm efd: ↳ @12:09 this is honestly an absurd notion. Supporters have no say over programming (as some would bitterly verify).
	♥ 12:11pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:08 hey-yo ho ho!
	12:11pm clarke: ? always comes up with the weirdest stuff.
	♥ 12:12pm love2laf: ↳ efd @12:10 Dashing my dreams of being a millionaire who can boss you darn Free Form DJs around. ;)
	♥ 12:12pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:09 i just snortled onto my hoodie (where's a kleenex) 🤣
	♥ 12:12pm Elena: ↳ efd @12:10 I am loving this discussion about funders' power over WFMU
	♥ 12:12pm G: ? but no Msyterians
	♥ 12:12pm tim: ↳ @12:08 Well, as efd said. It's up to each DJ to decide what to play. So if it sounds like there's more xmas music this year, then that's probably the case. But the choices were made by inspiriation rather then duress. :)
	12:13pm clarke: i WILL say that with five (or so) days to go is actually WHEN i can hear xmas music and not cringe.
	♥ 12:13pm Glistener MW: After every song played by anyone on WFMU, I stand there proudly with my fists on my hips and proclaim "Just as I - a funder/supporter - have ordained." You're welcome! <3
	♥ 12:13pm northguineahills: the more we give, the less say the listeners have, and that's the way we like it!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:12 perhaps we can call him ELFD for this show??
	♥ 12:14pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @12:13 let's dad joke this place up!
	♥ 12:14pm disco_nap_: Hello all! I'm finally being productive after a sluggish morning and I think it must be the funky xXxmas tunes. Thanks, EFD/ELFD.
	♥ 12:14pm nycmusicnerd: Not that I'm a HUGE financial supporter (I give what I can when I can), but if my financial support had ANY sway over what gets played on this station, we'd be hearing a LOT more a cappella. And we ain't hearing a lot of that on this station, are we? :)
	12:14pm UFOspecialist: If you can't get enough xmas radio, be sure to check out the 25 hour xmas marathon on WPRB out of Princeton, NJ. Of course, I keep WFMU on in another room in the house...
	♥ 12:14pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:13 Ooh, good plan!
	♥ 12:15pm disco_nap_: ↳ Elena @12:12 Or lack thereof lol
	♥ 12:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "you ain't getting nothin" by "beebe gallini & cin... dedicated to our friend, ? .
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:14 either that or Stevesie!!
	♥ 12:16pm G: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:16 lump of coal
	♥ 12:17pm tim: I hope it's not too chilly for some xmas Twilley, elfd.
	12:17pm ?: lol Clarke I said like 5 times that today doesn't count and I like what EFDs got going on, I just noticed it started way earlier than usual and it seemed out of character. This is just the first day the whole month I've been at a computer when I'm thinking about it. The funder thing was more /s to emphasize how random it seemed. But clearly the idea it might be more than usual outside of the week prior to Christmas is offensive to Christmas lovers. And th
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:17 now yer talking tiny tim!!
	♥ 12:18pm Jack McGuire: Chip Butty!
	♥ 12:18pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:14 all that is required is moral support (which you provide in spades! 😀) /I haven't been able to give in recent years, myself
	12:18pm clarke: and i get the blame here, why?
	♥ 12:18pm tim: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" Now this is a Christmas song!
	♥ 12:18pm efd: ↳ @12:17 it's not offensive to Christmas lovers, it's offensive to freeform radio lovers
	♥ 12:19pm mndave: ↳ tim @12:18 I have not heard this on KOOL 108
	12:19pm P.Welles: Love the Basement 5!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 hey, how goes the rat-race of getting settled, etc?? (i haven't been around the chat, much}
	♥ 12:20pm prof.fuzz: for later: lux interior's christmas playlist: www.bossradio66.com...
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 for later? i barely even know her!
	♥ 12:21pm tim: ↳ mndave @12:19 Well, the only thing cool about KOOL 108 is that the stationed stole their name from a tasty menthol cigarette brand!
	12:21pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" This is a modern classic Barking out Christmas songs!
	♥ 12:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 and a little immoral support goes a long way too
	♥ 12:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" I'm not opposed to some Christmas Oi!
	12:22pm clarke: Yule 108 ritecheer!!
	12:22pm Ochre Ogre: Hey Evan!
	12:23pm clarke: i see/hear what you did there!
	♥ 12:23pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 Jeezus f**k!
	♥ 12:23pm swivs: Ha ha... ahem.. ho
	12:23pm UFOspecialist: WTF was that?
	♥ 12:24pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:23 it's christmas!
	♥ 12:24pm slocker: There's Santa
	♥ 12:24pm love2laf: Oh my goodness, that made me laugh way out loud, and startled the cat :)
	12:24pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m here for some holiday cheer!
	♥ 12:24pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @12:19 i still have 13 days left in FL. I'm starting to relax a bit (then, the figuring out where to sleep and start a new job will create new anxieties).
	♥ 12:24pm disco_nap_: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 Omg thank you what a treasure!!
	12:24pm clarke: EFD - your santa impression sounds JUST LIKE jon bernhard from WMBR in cambridge!! ha ha.
	12:24pm Steve Del Sol: I need a bit more weeping in that Santa dialogue if it is to continue......
	♥ 12:24pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 brilliant, thanks!
	12:25pm morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 "..always wear your seatbelt inside the FuZZZmobile!" Had a friend on tour with her friend's band SABOT and they had a terrible accient, but the serious injuries were caused by flying bottles and cans and so ... no bottles and cans in their van nor so in the FuzzMobile when travelling ...
	12:25pm Philip: real deal EFD. happy funk-tionality to youse
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @12:25 this is not an invitation to litter!!

	♥ 12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ disco_nap_ @12:24 it's a fuzz family tradition. and we watch the first hellboy movie on christmas eve. good times.
	♥ 12:27pm tim: Does Mountain's Nantucket Sleighride count as a Christmas song? It should because it kicks ass!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:27 followed, oddly, by The Caddy
	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:27 i vote YES
	12:29pm Ochre Ogre: "Listen to the Falling Snow." Yoko Ono
	♥ 12:29pm McGroovey: Greetings all. I have a sore throat. I tested negative, but I promise not to breath in anyone's face anyway.
	♥ 12:29pm G: ↳ Song: "you're a mean one mr. grinch" by "whirling dervis... The original vocal on this, from the tv show, was done by the 50-year voice artist of Tony the Tiger ads.

And we're not catching it from each other, because we haven't been in the same room in two weeks. We were supposed to record a Christmas song last week. Maybe we were going to be able to do it tonight, but now maybe not. Soon we'll have another year to get it done.

	♥ 12:47pm drr: ↳ SeanG @12:44 I tuned in mid-song and knew who it was in a second. They (or is it "he"?) have a sound.

	♥ 12:53pm drr: Here's my take on holiday-themed shows that no one asked for: they're not my favorite. But that's okay, I'm also here for the chat. Except for one thing: the moment "Monster Mash" rears its ugly head, I'm gone.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:53 bobby pickett has some xmas cuts!

	12:56pm Mister Dobalina: Sorry, bad linky.. here ya go : tinyurl.com...
	♥ 12:57pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:54 Yes. I wanted to sell it to a poor boy who just needed a ride, any ride, and I found my guy. He and his buddy biked over an hour to get here. They drove off in the truck, so that was good. I discovered right after the sale somebody stole my spare by cutting the retaining cord that holds it up under the truck.

	1:00pm clarke: triflin'!!
	♥ 1:01pm DjLorraine: I almost requested a song by beautiful chorus which is a capella for the listener request show on Hinky Dinky Time Jan 5th
	♥ 1:02pm drr: ↳ clarke @1:00 It's almost against the law to make a truck that good and not deadly to little children and other pedestrians. Killing machines get a tax break, what a stupid country this is. Merry Christmas!
	1:03pm Frances: this show is just making me happy! Yesterday I saw a "Gingerbread House" made entirely of frosted Pop Tarts!
	♥ 1:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "i don't intend to spend christmas without you" by... Almost sounds like maybe Pete Townshend wrote this.

	♥ 1:52pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "christmas wrapping" by "the waitresses" The issue I have with this otherwise flawless Xmas gem is that the story hinges on two people who've both forgotten cranberries for the holiday festivities. But cranberries are a Thanksgiving thing. For me this is problematic.
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Christmas I don't even notice. It's just Monday as far as I'm concerned. A Monday without work.

	♥ 1:59pm G: Why did Led Zep never think of "Stairway to Christmas"?

	2:17pm Jennica: ↳ Daybreak @2:16 SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Upcoming events:

Wed. May 1st, Noon - 3pm: UV-TV (More info...)
UV-TV formed in Gainesville, Florida, in the mid-2010s, but by the turn of the decade they’d relocated to New York City. Their first release after moving to NYC, 2021’s Always Something, was one of EFD’s favorites of that year; they’ll play some songs from that album as well as some new songs from an upcoming release. Tune in for some post-punk jangle-drone!
Wed. May 22nd, Noon - 3pm: The Prof. Fuzz 63 (More info...)
The Prof. Fuzz 63 are a three-piece family band from just north of Dallas. They’re also literally a garage band. Their garage/practice space is adorned with photos of The Cramps, among others, and singer uses an old telephone handset for a mic. What else do you need to know? OK, they’re also playing May 22 at Berlin in NYC and May 23 at Finnegan’s in Hoboken.

Listener comments!
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Department holiday potluck! I will be with you as soon as I can.
	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: Oh the snow!
	♥ 12:01pm Triple G: Hey EFD and Holiday Funksters! Let's party
	♥ 12:01pm prof.fuzz: merry merry!
	♥ 12:01pm G: 50 years!
	♥ 12:01pm mndave: ↳ Song: "step into christmas" by "elton john" Hi EFD and everyone! This is my favorite seasonal tune and I highly recommend the video because Elton John is an absolute goof in it.
	♥ 12:02pm B R M: We want the funk... gotta have that funk (awww)...
	♥ 12:02pm efd: ↳ G @12:01 oy!
	♥ 12:02pm love2laf: Merry 3 hours ahead with efd at the helm of the Holiday! Cheers everyone :)
	♥ 12:03pm B R M: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:56 update on what dish you brought to pass, please (and Happy Holidays Handy Haversack!)
	12:03pm ?: ok but really...not to be a Grinch but it seems WFMU is leaning hugely hard into Christmas songs this year way more than it ever has. 5 days ahead makes sense but its been all month. Am I the only one who feels like it's way more?
	♥ 12:03pm tim: Hey efd! efd annual shows are always top notch! Hi everyone! prof- I got the fake snow machine used for ski slopes blasting inside the fuZZZmobile!
	♥ 12:03pm SeanG: now I'm in the Christmas spirit!
	♥ 12:03pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	12:03pm bradford: Hi efd & everyone!
	♥ 12:04pm efd: ↳ @12:03 you are free to listen to one of the thousands of archived shows if you're not into it, anonymous commenter!
	12:04pm UFOspecialist: Love this! Hope there's some Donnie Iris xmas music out there!
	♥ 12:04pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @12:03 Fun fact: If you turn the FuZZZmobile upside down and shake it, the dust bunnies make it look like a snow globe!
	♥ 12:05pm tim: ↳ @12:03 Hmmm! I can't recall hearing any xmas music until today. But my short term memory is extremely unreliable. What show's were you listening too.
	♥ 12:05pm efd: ↳ @12:03 also, "WFMU" as a programming entity doesn't exist. I do this every year on my show.
	♥ 12:05pm northguineahills: it's an efd wfmumas miracle!
	♥ 12:05pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @12:05 I was thinking the same thing. I've heard an occasional tune, but certainly not overkill.
	12:05pm ?: Just asking if I'm imagining things/just had different timing in previous years. This year it seems almost every show has done so all month
	♥ 12:05pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 i believe we should follow up on the experiment. Prof Fuzz, you down?
	♥ 12:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi efd! Hello everybody!
	♥ 12:06pm tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 Hey nyc! Brillian idea! That's so much easier then trying to squeeze a snow machine in a van!
	♥ 12:06pm HyperDose: It's an efd miracle!
	12:06pm clarke: howdy from rural hill country mississippi ya'll!!
	12:06pm Vanessa - Georgia: Hi Evan Happy Holidaze!
	♥ 12:06pm HyperDose: ↳ northguineahills @12:05 Get out of my brain! haha
	♥ 12:06pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:03 good to know. i thought it was my dandruff acting up again!
	♥ 12:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Funktacular greetings!
	♥ 12:06pm SeanG: hey clarke!
	♥ 12:06pm northguineahills: ↳ HyperDose @12:06 (jinxed ya! 🤪)
	♥ 12:07pm Strandlund: Happy Funky Holiday, EFD and everyone tuning in!!
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ SeanG @12:06 how do?
	♥ 12:07pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:04 and this, kids, is why you always wear your seatbelt inside the FuZZZmobile!
	♥ 12:08pm Glistener MW: Merry Funkmas, all! I look forward to this holiday funktacular every year
	12:08pm ?: @Tim Kens multiple times including during Hanukkah (which for Ken isn't entirely surprising until its multiple shows in a row), I think Fool's Paradise and Glen Jones, and at least 2 other shows but I don't remember which they were as they were either fills or shows that weren't on the schedule last year.
	♥ 12:08pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 snertle!
	12:08pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZ your dandruff is actin' up
	♥ 12:08pm Chris Hiatt: Afternoon, y'all. I'm down for this!
	♥ 12:08pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:05 bucked in and ready to shake, jingle, and snow!
	12:09pm ?: tbh as long as I'm not Whamageddoned I'm happy, just as a nonprofit fundraiser it strikes me as random and made me wonder if there was a funder who requested more Christmas or something
	♥ 12:09pm SeanG: @clarke doing good my man!
	♥ 12:09pm medson: Hola efd and all.
	♥ 12:09pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 Also: Don't drink and park. Accidents cause people.
	♥ 12:09pm Hughie Considine: It's one thing to play the familiar Xmas canon, quite another to find the outliers as only FMU djs can do. I mean, it's not like Blake Xolton & the Martians are getting a lot of repeat play in shopping malls.
	♥ 12:09pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:08 oh. damn. i thought it was a snow globe.
	12:10pm ?: (again not complaining, especially not 5 days ahead when I need some hype to get me finishing presents, so big thanks EFD. Just musing)
	♥ 12:10pm G: ↳ @12:09 How the Grinch Stole the Comment Board! new holiday special!
	♥ 12:10pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:09 sage advice to my younger self!
	12:10pm clarke: oh FuZZZZZZ
	♥ 12:10pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "sleigh ride" by "memphis sounds orchestra" Is it possible to hear wood paneling? 'Cause I think I hear the wood panellng in this. I mean that in the best way possible.
	♥ 12:10pm efd: ↳ @12:09 this is honestly an absurd notion. Supporters have no say over programming (as some would bitterly verify).
	♥ 12:11pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:08 hey-yo ho ho!
	12:11pm clarke: ? always comes up with the weirdest stuff.
	♥ 12:12pm love2laf: ↳ efd @12:10 Dashing my dreams of being a millionaire who can boss you darn Free Form DJs around. ;)
	♥ 12:12pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:09 i just snortled onto my hoodie (where's a kleenex) 🤣
	♥ 12:12pm Elena: ↳ efd @12:10 I am loving this discussion about funders' power over WFMU
	♥ 12:12pm G: ? but no Msyterians
	♥ 12:12pm tim: ↳ @12:08 Well, as efd said. It's up to each DJ to decide what to play. So if it sounds like there's more xmas music this year, then that's probably the case. But the choices were made by inspiriation rather then duress. :)
	12:13pm clarke: i WILL say that with five (or so) days to go is actually WHEN i can hear xmas music and not cringe.
	♥ 12:13pm Glistener MW: After every song played by anyone on WFMU, I stand there proudly with my fists on my hips and proclaim "Just as I - a funder/supporter - have ordained." You're welcome! <3
	♥ 12:13pm northguineahills: the more we give, the less say the listeners have, and that's the way we like it!
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:12 perhaps we can call him ELFD for this show??
	♥ 12:14pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @12:13 let's dad joke this place up!
	♥ 12:14pm disco_nap_: Hello all! I'm finally being productive after a sluggish morning and I think it must be the funky xXxmas tunes. Thanks, EFD/ELFD.
	♥ 12:14pm nycmusicnerd: Not that I'm a HUGE financial supporter (I give what I can when I can), but if my financial support had ANY sway over what gets played on this station, we'd be hearing a LOT more a cappella. And we ain't hearing a lot of that on this station, are we? :)
	12:14pm UFOspecialist: If you can't get enough xmas radio, be sure to check out the 25 hour xmas marathon on WPRB out of Princeton, NJ. Of course, I keep WFMU on in another room in the house...
	♥ 12:14pm tim: ↳ clarke @12:13 Ooh, good plan!
	♥ 12:15pm disco_nap_: ↳ Elena @12:12 Or lack thereof lol
	♥ 12:16pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "you ain't getting nothin" by "beebe gallini & cin... dedicated to our friend, ? .
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:14 either that or Stevesie!!
	♥ 12:16pm G: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:16 lump of coal
	♥ 12:17pm tim: I hope it's not too chilly for some xmas Twilley, elfd.
	12:17pm ?: lol Clarke I said like 5 times that today doesn't count and I like what EFDs got going on, I just noticed it started way earlier than usual and it seemed out of character. This is just the first day the whole month I've been at a computer when I'm thinking about it. The funder thing was more /s to emphasize how random it seemed. But clearly the idea it might be more than usual outside of the week prior to Christmas is offensive to Christmas lovers. And th
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:17 now yer talking tiny tim!!
	♥ 12:18pm Jack McGuire: Chip Butty!
	♥ 12:18pm northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:14 all that is required is moral support (which you provide in spades! 😀) /I haven't been able to give in recent years, myself
	12:18pm clarke: and i get the blame here, why?
	♥ 12:18pm tim: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" Now this is a Christmas song!
	♥ 12:18pm efd: ↳ @12:17 it's not offensive to Christmas lovers, it's offensive to freeform radio lovers
	♥ 12:19pm mndave: ↳ tim @12:18 I have not heard this on KOOL 108
	12:19pm P.Welles: Love the Basement 5!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 hey, how goes the rat-race of getting settled, etc?? (i haven't been around the chat, much}
	♥ 12:20pm prof.fuzz: for later: lux interior's christmas playlist: www.bossradio66.com...
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 for later? i barely even know her!
	♥ 12:21pm tim: ↳ mndave @12:19 Well, the only thing cool about KOOL 108 is that the stationed stole their name from a tasty menthol cigarette brand!
	12:21pm Borg9: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" This is a modern classic Barking out Christmas songs!
	♥ 12:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 and a little immoral support goes a long way too
	♥ 12:22pm egould: ↳ Song: "last white christmas" by "basement 5" I'm not opposed to some Christmas Oi!
	12:22pm clarke: Yule 108 ritecheer!!
	12:22pm Ochre Ogre: Hey Evan!
	12:23pm clarke: i see/hear what you did there!
	♥ 12:23pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 Jeezus f**k!
	♥ 12:23pm swivs: Ha ha... ahem.. ho
	12:23pm UFOspecialist: WTF was that?
	♥ 12:24pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:23 it's christmas!
	♥ 12:24pm slocker: There's Santa
	♥ 12:24pm love2laf: Oh my goodness, that made me laugh way out loud, and startled the cat :)
	12:24pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m here for some holiday cheer!
	♥ 12:24pm northguineahills: ↳ clarke @12:19 i still have 13 days left in FL. I'm starting to relax a bit (then, the figuring out where to sleep and start a new job will create new anxieties).
	♥ 12:24pm disco_nap_: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 Omg thank you what a treasure!!
	12:24pm clarke: EFD - your santa impression sounds JUST LIKE jon bernhard from WMBR in cambridge!! ha ha.
	12:24pm Steve Del Sol: I need a bit more weeping in that Santa dialogue if it is to continue......
	♥ 12:24pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:20 brilliant, thanks!
	12:25pm morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @12:07 "..always wear your seatbelt inside the FuZZZmobile!" Had a friend on tour with her friend's band SABOT and they had a terrible accient, but the serious injuries were caused by flying bottles and cans and so ... no bottles and cans in their van nor so in the FuzzMobile when travelling ...
	12:25pm Philip: real deal EFD. happy funk-tionality to youse
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ morphe' @12:25 this is not an invitation to litter!!

	♥ 12:27pm prof.fuzz: ↳ disco_nap_ @12:24 it's a fuzz family tradition. and we watch the first hellboy movie on christmas eve. good times.
	♥ 12:27pm tim: Does Mountain's Nantucket Sleighride count as a Christmas song? It should because it kicks ass!

	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @12:27 i vote YES
